Watch: US President walks away from front to stand next to Indian Prime Minister

While a small section of people in our country would want to blissfully ignore such things, for rest of Indians, a gesture by the US President Donald Trump clearly speaks of India’s growing influence in world affairs.

During a recent event, US President Donald Trump, among few other world leaders was in the front row when representatives from numerous countries from across the world gathered at one place. President Trump made his way through leaders standing there and stood right next to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Clearly, the US President wants to be seen with India.

Amid the growing tensions in the South China Sea, the United States needs India now more than ever to balance the power equation in the region.
